A method of fabricating a reduced-coverage back-smoothing brassiere, the method comprising:
- receiving two brassiere cups including a right brassiere cup and a left brassiere cup;
- receiving two brassiere wings, including a left brassiere wing and a right brassiere wing, each of the two brassiere wings including a first attachment portion, a second attachment portion, a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge;
- coupling the first attachment portion of the left brassiere wing to at least a portion of the left brassiere cup and coupling the first attachment portion of the right brassiere wing being coupled to at least a portion of the right brassiere cup, the third edge of each of the two brassiere wings extending towards a fastening section of the brassiere, the third edge of the right brassiere wing being at least partially opposite the first edge of the right brassiere wing and the third edge of the left brassiere wing being at least partially opposite the first edge of the left brassiere wing;
- receiving two brassiere straps, including a right brassiere strap and a left brassiere strap, each of the two brassiere straps including a first portion opposite a second portion as well as an interior edge opposite an exterior edge;
- coupling the first portion of the right brassiere strap to the second attachment portion of the right brassiere wing, the second attachment portion being between a first edge and a second edge of the right brassiere wing, and coupling the first portion of the left brassiere strap to the second attachment portion of the left brassiere wing, the second attachment portion being between a first edge and a second edge of the left brassiere wing, the first edge of the right brassiere wing being between the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion of the right brassiere wing, the first edge of the right brassiere wing being a continuous curve leading to the exterior edge of the right brassiere wing, and the first edge of the left brassiere wing being between the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion of the left brassiere wing, the first edge of the left brassiere wing being a continuous curve leading to the exterior edge of the left brassiere wing, the second portion of the right brassiere strap being coupled to the right brassiere cup and the second portion of the left brassiere strap being coupled to the left brassiere cup, the second edge of the right brassiere strap extending in an unbroken curve from the second portion of the right brassiere strap toward the fastening section, the second edge of the left brassiere strap extending in an unbroken curve from the second portion of the left brassiere strap toward the fastening section, a continuous, unbroken curve being created by the interior edge of each of the two brassiere straps along the second edge of each of the two brassiere wings, respectively.
